I'll let you know how the black eyed pea soup is from YRR! I'm making it tonight because I had some dill I wanted to use up. I don't think I've actually ever used dried black eyed peas before, except for maybe in one of those 10 bean soup bags, so we'll see if that makes any difference in them kinda tasting like dirt.

I love black-eyed peas! They're great as tacos, bean salads, soups! I have a great salad that I make with pickled green apples, okra, and black eyed peas...But, there was also this recipe in the NYT for yellow-eye beans (which taste quite similar) that the boy and I LOVE, he voted it "best soup of all time." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/magaz ... .html?_r=0

Another recommendation for the hottie black eyed peas and greens. It's ridiculously good.

There is a black eyed pea dish in Chloe's Kitchen that is very good - southern skillet black eyed peas with cauliflower. It was really good and we made it a bit spicy but you can tone it down by skipping the cayenne.

Hmm I've never made that! Which is weird cause I love Joanna's soups.

Keep it all coming guys! We'll need the recipes for the new year anyway :D

-There are a couple of BYP recipes in Vegan Soul Kitchen that I like. Hopping john I think, and the BBQ baked beans. neither of them require frying, they are either stovetop cooked or baked.

-I have an indian vegan cookbook, and there are a couple of recipes that use black eye peas in the curry dishes. It would be easy to just replace chickpeas or whatever in a curry recipe you already have with Black Eyed Peas.

Do you have Joanna's Potluck Mania zine? The hopping John cakes are the best thing ever. I love them hot with steak sauce and potatoes and cold/plain for lunch. We make those a couple times a month, like clockwork.

Here's a recipe from the olde days when I used to hang out in the craigslist food forum(s). These are FRIED! Now, I did hear you: you are looking for not-fried; I am sharing for those times when you might like some fried.

For non-fried, we cook up BEPs with the holy trinity and eat with dirty rice. Boring, perhaps, but very tasty, and fast with a pressure cooker.

So I made the hottie bep + greens and since I figured no one would eat it but me I used the full tbsp of franks. Anywho, it's awesome and even the husband loved it and the kid tolerated it! You guys rock.
